Hey,
Does anybody watch movies on their tv using their Arc and the HDMI cable?
What is the best combination of video format and resolution and video app? I want a good combination so the movie looks good on my new 37 inch HD tv.
Any advice or feedback will be appreciated. Cheers!
yesterday only i tried to play mp4 format 720p movie on HDTV with MX player...it was damn smooth..in between it used to lag just fraction of a second..
Mp4 file and 720p. Try handbrake for file conversion. 1080p would be a waste since the arc can only output 480p and 720p through its hdmi port.

Hi,
As you guys might know, playing 720p HD videos on the DHD is impossible. the video will be in Slow Mo!
Anyone has a fix or a workaround for that?
Thanks =)
p.s. i think is 1080 x 720 resolution for the video!
If you can play it with system player it should be possible because it uses hardware decoding (gpu renders the video). MoboPlayer or RockPlayer are 3rd party players with hardware decoding
If you use a player like vplayer that only supports software decoding (cpu renders the video) it's possible that it's laggy and out of sync.

resolution is 1280x720 and when I record them they play back perfecty in the stock player
actually rock player doesn't work. i download you tube videos via tubemate in 1080x720 format. it lags even on rock player
Rubbish! Desire HD extremely smooth playback HD stuff with stock player.
Stock player
.mp4 720p great
.avi 720p great
.wmv 480p great (i didin't try 720p)
.flv not at all ->SGS can great
.mkv not at all ->pity because SGS can great
RockPlayer ARMv7 depending on decoding mode
.mp4 720p great
.avi 720p good but big file has some lags
.wmv 480p great (i didin't try 720p)
.flv great but i've only checked 480p
.mkv poor fps, a lot of lags
It's pity that default player can't open .mkv files. A lot of HD movies has this extension... I don't know why HTC hasn't implemented this codec to the player when Samsung could. It's proof, it's possible.
If U want to download HD stuff from YouTube, try JDownloader ->it's great
DHD and even SGS won't playback full HD 1080p video clips. Probably it's software limitation.

I am wondering if anyone else is having issues playing HD video on the A100. I have put multiple different HD files on the device itself and tried to play them in MX Media Player, but the playback is downright horrible. Even with hardware rendering. I really want to be able to play my media over my network, but right now, it is just waay too choppy to watch, even with it on the card. Is there something I am missing?
with HD you mean 1080p videos? if so, try Mobo Player, it works really god at fullHD videos (at least for me).
also streaming 1080p is sketchy at best on wifi..

well it is suppose that acer a100 suports fullHD, so try killing processes or cleaning cache. what's your android version? (3.2 or 3.2.1)
What audio s used on the files, I have noticed that 720p mkv movies using DTS for example will outright kill performance.
Try using a 4GB 'scene' release with stereo audio if you haven't on MX Video to see if helps.
Look what i found, it may work.
Link.
I am using BSPlayer lite. This works the best for my MKV's with no audio loss. It loses some frames but plays more than MX Video or MoboPlayer.
You will need to get the ARM7 add on for it.
Try this out. I am able to stream my over 4gb MKV's from my server to my A100.
The tegra 2's only downfall... its horrible at decoding high profile HD video such as H264 video. Should be able yo run 720p just fine though depending on the type of video. I'd say try clearing up some memory.
I honestly don't see the point of playing 1080p video on a 7" tablet, seems like overkill. I can understand that its convenient to have 1 file that'll run on all your devices, but unfortunately that can't always be the case.

Try BS Player Free from the market. I also use MX player because I feel it outputs better sound but BS plays everything I throw at it Including 1080p mkv's and I even have a couple of very high bit rate 1080p m2ts files that play on it just fine.I'm on Trinity kernel (1536/384). Let me know how it goes.
I have had a lot of problems with the smoothness on Mx player lately. It used to play HD files fine in software mode but lately has not.

+1 BS Player free , good for HW decoding and also those mkv movies that don't appear to have sound with other players
Well,as a proud ion user here,I wanna ask some question
Ion have 720p display which if play 720p video,it will fit perfectly on screen...well,I've been downloading 720p anime and it runs perfectly without errors...
What I am confused is : Is ion support 1080p video playback with its hardware?
I mean,even if the screen resolution isn't 1080p and oversize the 1080p video,I still can make it fit on my screen using MX Player...
Just the total question : Does it support 1080p video?
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
the physical pixel dimensions of the Ion's screen is ~1280 x 720 (not sure if its exactly that, but its close)
the phone's hardware, though, is capable of outputting 1080p video...the 1080p stuff is for outputting to a HDTV via HDMI.
if you play a native 1080p video in MX player, what happens depends on your scale settings in the player. If its full screen, you set the scaling to 'fit to screen' or whatever its called...and its actually 720p...if you set to full scale, it'll play it in 1080p, but it will be zoomed in...even at 100%, as all the pixels can't fit on the 720p screen.
I'm pretty sure the stock player doesn't give you the options of full scale...it'll just fit it to the screen regardless...but MX player does let you 'see it' in 1080p, it just won't all fit...i had to mess with this because all my top gear episodes are in 1080p...

Thanks for replying,well now you confirmed it that ion can play 1080p video...well does it have any problem with it?

I push 1080p episodes of Top Gear via HDMI pretty regularly, and it works great. I can't comment on sound though, as i don't have HDMI running from my TV to my receiver...so its just TV speakers, but it works and everything...
I can't remember what type those files are, i wanna say they are .mkv ...but not positive...i just know its something my PS3 won't decode, so i have to use the phone...nearly any other video file i've used the PS3 plays fine, so i don't have to use the phone...
I will say though...MX player hated these types of files for the first few minutes...it only did it the first time i ever played one...it would get out of sync and stutter a lot...but after about 5 minutes it smoothed out and i never had an issue since...not sure if that is cache related or something, just saying though...don't give up if its a little wonky at first, it'll probably smooth out fine...
Hi,
i have problems with 1080p MKV and MP4 playback.
When i playback a movie with 1080p and Hardware Decoding, I get terrible blocking and freezing (strainge colours, green Pixel and so on).
I tested with MX-Player (H/W+), VLC Player, Plex and XBMC. The result is always the same.
When i use the same file in ts oder m2ts - Format, then everything is ok.
So i tested to create the mkv and mp4 File with different Tools: mkvmerge, ffmpeg, makemkv, mp4box and so on..
Always Errors and terrible playback.
Is there a trick or can the device handle HD only in *.ts without Errors???

I'm able to play 1080p mkv files and mp4 files without issue. I actually download a lot of 1080p movie trailer in mp4 format to my tablet. However, I normally use Archos Video player or BS player though as the hardware acceleration appears to be better on them than other video players I've tried.
I use mx player and never have an issue, have you tried the software codec for mx?

Try archos and the achos free codec pack.
MX player
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda premium
so, i tested more:
Archos has the best Performance. you only see sometimes litte stuttering. But the PGS-Subtitles are not shown -((
BS-Player has Picture -Errors
MX-Player in S/W and H/W Looks ok, but not enough Performance for full framerate Decoding.H/W+ Decoder has enogh Performance, but the same Errors in the Picture like BS-Player, Plex, XBMC abd so on.
I don't understand why... the Problem ist not all movies... and this are not the movies withe the highets Bitrate. convert to ts looks good.
I put a short sample online.. mail me, if you are interessed to verify and help... I can not post the link here.. (new user board-rule)
I just streamed a 1080p mkv from my WD Live network drive with no stuttering or sound issues. I use Archos player and the free codec pack.

maybe is not the resolution but profile... 10bits encoding or 8bits encoding?

hey, stehohrhase, has this resolved with different player? I am tempted to buy p605, but I don't want to buy one that has issue with video playback.

i guess is not the player... TS is just the container... this device can handle 1080p
no issues
I use MK player with no issues even in FULL HD movies!
Maybe your files (muvies) are stored in ExtStorage (microSD).
Have you check your microSD card speed?
Try Dice Player its one of the best players out there, but for DTS audio you need "libffmpeg.so" from the attachment below.
Other than that try a test sample with video stream only and see if it plays fine, if it does then mux in the other streams one at a time until the problem returns.
10 bits encoding maybe?
